I try to keep my posts positive and I don’t want to sound like a catty bitch, but…I don’t get it! Sure the tools look pretty, but if you want to use a tool, why can’t you use real, macho tools? I mean, I have pretty small hands and I don’t need girlie tools. It just seems gimmicky to me.

Tom Boy Tools has tool parties, much like your mom’s Tupperware parties. They are dedicated to empowering women. Yeah, you look real empowered with that pink hammer in your hand! Ok, I’m not that evil. The pink is actually a positive thing. $3 from each “pink edition” sale will go to the Susan G Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.

Barbara K‘s “true desire is to inspire women to become more self reliant and confident in their own abilities.” Really? I thought it was to become the Martha Stewart of home improvement. Barbara was a general contractor in NYC who thought tools for men were intimidating for women to use. Yeah, watch you don’t smear your mascara, honey.

MEOW!
